Wow. Try not thinking of David Bowie when listening to this song :)
I think it's about a guy who tried to break away from his life but now realizes he wants to go back.
"Well you were high when i met you,
and now you're falling like a leaf from a tree,
(wanna reach into the sea)
and every time the world goes round,
you're getting closer to the ground."
This is about how the guy was a mess and now as time goes on, he keeps getting worse until he "crashes."
"Air traffic control,
I've been gone, I've been up away from home.
now my gear is down, I've circled round,
and i am coming in...."
The guy wants help back to normality but he has lost touch with those that could help him and now he's just "circlin' round" and waiting for him to crash. The line where he says his gear is down, to me, means that he wants to land and but it doesn't matter because he can't find where to and it's no use because his "oxygen is low."
"wanna race into the sea
i cant hear you, can you see me?
i cant see you, can you hear me?"
He accepts that there's no way for him to get better so he just basically says "Fuck it, if I can't get better, then I'll just try harder to die." He also says that he can't hear or see the person that would "help him down," so he is disconnected from his help line.

That's just my opinion though.
